1. Is this assignment a "bad hackable test"? Explain. 2. If I were to ask a student who deserves a check-plus (you, perhaps) to accept a zero on this assignment for education's sake, what should they say in light of the reading. Go into as much detail as you think necessary to convince me you deserve a check-plus.

3. Are you willing to accept a 0 on this assignment for education's sake?
